Actually, that's exactly why I want to share the code. That way others
can help me out. :)

Yes, in a sense you are right. However, they will be highly configurable
as to how they really do their work and I intend to depend on already
available external applications at first, e.g., using mplayer in
DefPlayer. Personally, I would consider the whole of CLIM to be
comparable to Emacs, FWIW.

I won't really be sharing much code between the projects, but some may
provide extensions and/or plugins for the others. E.g. DefDoc providing
a format plugin for DefEditor.

Thanks for providing such a useful service to the lisp community.
